More details in the text for the VimTip category and our tip creation guidelines, but in general a tip should NOT depend on external links for content, it should be useful on its own. Additionally, a script with no explanation is useless to most people, and a tip that does not even explain the problem it tries to solve is useless to pretty much everyone.

Tips which cover the same material should be merged. You can simply flag duplicate tips to notify others that the tips need to be merged. Or, you can merge the material into one tip. See the merge guidelines.

Several templates are available to simplify and standardize common tasks. For example, you could use the Help template by entering {{help|pattern}} into a tip. The result looks like this :help pattern.
